Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (57% on Rotten Tomatoes) and soft box office held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Infamous outlaw Harland Rust breaks his estranged grandson Lucas out of prison, after Lucas is convicted to hang for an accidental murder.
